Join us on Wednesday, September 8th at 6pm for our 'Youth Social Entrepreneurship' Forum. 

We will discuss the opportunities available to youth in the region to create their own social innovation initiatives. Helping youth to create and expand on current social innovations is greatly more valuable than having them tread the well worn path of 'give a man a fish' volunteering. We'll ask question such as: What is the difference between social entrepreneurship and volunteering? How can intrinsic motivation be developed to encourage youth involvement? What misconceptions or trends prevent youths from being more active in their communities?

Sunday, September 12th at Tualatin Community Park on the Tualatin River. A homegrown festival featuring live local music, local food and beverage, recreational kayaking and fun nature activities for children.
